Activists raised their voices against gun violence in the Bronx Tuesday night at the site where a 2-year-old boy was struck and injured by a bullet last Saturday.
Anti-gun violence activists braved the cold and rain to make their message clear through chants and signs Tuesday night.Passion from the rally echoed into the roads just outside of TD Bank on Grand Concourse and East Fordham Heights Road, where police say 20-year-old Freddy Flores shot a 2-year-old last Saturday.Flores is now facing charges that include attempted murder, 3 counts of assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment.
Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence are among several local groups promoting peace and calling for an end to senseless shootings, especially with a child involved."This is broad daylight a heavily populated shopping district on a Saturday when people are shopping. This little boy walking with his mom passing by the bank. This should never happen," said David Caba with Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence, BRAG for short.
